Özet:

The aim of this research is to contribute to the literature on Halide Edib Adıvar with her observations and ideas on the author's love of animals, consciousness, interest in their living conditions and priority in this context. As a matter of fact, she is a realist female writer whose name has crossed the borders of the country and far beyond, about her life and studies. However, despite the fact that various researches have been written with different interests and depths, both for her own studies and life, special research has not yet been written on the love and interest in animals, which started from her childhood years and became the subject of her various works. Therefore, in today's world, when the agendas regarding animal rights and animal problems have become more clear and studies from different disciplines are being written, it is thought that it is valuable to make the animal life visible or not in the Ottoman Empire and Republic of Türkiye through the pen of Halide Edib Adıvar. This study, in which the main sources of the research are based on the author's own works, has also been tried to be handled through the cultural and scientific atmosphere conditions of the author.
